Instructions:
-
Prepare the Mozzarella
Begin by slicing the mozzarella into thin rounds, approximately 3-4 mm thick. Once sliced, use a paper towel to gently blot away any excess moisture from the cheese. -
Whisk the Eggs
In a shallow plate, crack the eggs and season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk vigorously with a fork until the eggs are well-beaten and slightly frothy. -
Heat the Oil
Heat the sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, ensuring itβs hot enough to cook the eggs without sticking. -
Cook the Eggs
Pour the beaten eggs into the hot pan, spreading them evenly. Allow them to cook gently, ensuring the edges start to firm up but the center remains slightly runny. -
Add the Mozzarella and Ham
Once the eggs are partially set, arrange the mozzarella slices on top of the eggs. Lay the cooked ham slices over the mozzarella. -
Fold the Omelette
Using a spatula, carefully fold the edges of the omelette towards the center, creating a half-moon shape. Allow it to cook for a few more seconds until the cheese begins to melt, and the eggs are fully set. -
Serve and Enjoy
Gently slide the finished omelette onto a piece of paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Once ready, cut the rich omelette into slices and serve while hot. Enjoy your delicious and cheesy Filoscio Ricco!
This rich and indulgent omelette combines the softness of eggs, the melt-in-your-mouth mozzarella, and the savory flavor of cooked ham. Perfect for a hearty meal, this dish can be served with a side of salad or fresh bread for a complete experience.
